HISTORY
Kankakee County History
Looking Back Into Time
The Kankakee River Valley is known for both the
splendor and tranquil beauty of the Historic Kankakee
River. Winding its way through Kankakee County, it
passes through many of our small and large communities.
This section provides both historical and current information about the Kankakee River and also provides historical
and current information about many of the towns, cities
and key people who have played a part in the historical
past of Kankakee County.
History and Heritage...The Kankakee River
The Kankakee River runs 57 miles through Kankakee County and
is one of our most precious resources. Water Sports, excellent fishing
and a beautiful State Park are available for all to enjoy. But, there is
a special history about why the Kankakee River played such an
important part of our heritage and what Kankakee County is today.
The Potawatomi Indians lived in the area once thought to be the
upper Illinois River. They referred to the area as “Theatiki”.
Through variations in the pronunciation of Theatiki, Kankakee
evolved. Some of the meanings of Theatiki are Wolf, Swampy Place,
and Wonderful Land. The Kankakee River Valley’s beautiful land
and rich natural resources are a result of debris and minerals left
by three massive glaciers that came down from Canada thousands
of years ago. Thus, accounting for the beautiful area that tourists,
re-locators, and community members now enjoy.

HISTORY
African American Heritage
“An African American Rodeo,” a neglected area of African
American history and culture, remains a mystery to many American
Children and adults—African Americans in the American West. In
the building of the American West, many roles were played by
African American men and women.
Thyrl Latting Rodeo Spectacular performs each Memorial Day
weekend in Pembroke, IL, a historical African American Community
located in Kankakee County. The Marcus Garvey Festival takes
place the second weekend of August, and the township celebrates
Pembroke Days during the final weekend in August with parades,
entertainment and Gospel, Jazz and Blues Concerts.
The settlement named Pembroke is not shown in the 1883
Kankakee Atlas, although people were living in the area before
the Civil War. African Americans, the Tetter and Morgan families,
from Maryland and Virginia settled near Pembroke in the 1850s
Today, the area once incorporated as the village of “Pembroke”
is within the new village of Hopkins Park.
Sun River Terrace
Sun River Terrace, located on the Kankakee River, is a relatively new
community. It is north of Route 17, six miles north of St. Anne, and
six miles West of Momence. Sun River Terrace was incorporated in
1980 through the efforts of Casey Wade, Jr. and Henry Nicholes, Sr.
Each year Sun River Terrace hosts the Village Festival and a community Fall Banquet.
In 1948, after a boxing match with Jersey Joe Walcott, Joe Lewis
and the National Boxing Association established his training camps
at the Sunset Hills Golf Club in Sun River Terrace. The place where
Joe Lewis resided during his camp days still stands as a valuable
landmark.

Facts
A Few Facts About
Kankakee County
❖ Kankakee County was considered the
perfect place to live by the Pottawatomi
Indians long before the ever-increasing
westward migration of the white settlers.
For here was a rolling landscape with a
beautiful river thickly bordered with
groves of oak, hickory, maple, cedar and
black walnut. With the land in places
sloping gently to the water’s edge and in
others rising in sheer limestone bluffs
many feet above the river, and the abundant wildlife that inhabited the area, no
more beautiful or varied scenery could
be found in the Middle West than in
Kankakee County.
❖ Settlers came to Kankakee County in 1834, after the federal government signed the Treaty of Camp Tippecanoe in 1832. As word spread
about the government acquiring the land, many immigrants from New
York and Vermont moved their way west, mostly locating in
Momence, IL. An act of the Illinois Legislature created Kankakee
County out of the north part of Iroquois County and the south part
of Will County on February 11, 1853. The six original townships
were Yellowhead, Rockville, Bourbonnais, Momence, Aroma and
Limestone. The population of the new county was about 8,000. It
wasn’t until 1855 that the two western townships of Norton and Essex
were taken from Vermilion County and added to Kankakee County.
❖ In the mid 1800s, David Bradley
started the Bradley Plow Works,
later called the Bradley Factory. He
manufactured farm implements and
is known for the Bradley Plan. During the
early 1900s, Bradley built a home designed
by the famous architect Frank Lloyd
Wright. In 1891, North Kankakee
was incorporated and named Bradley.
❖ The City of Kankakee grew in the shadow of Bourbonnais, a
French settlement nearby. Kankakee became the eventual seat of
government for Kankakee County and in 1855 became the site of
a depot on the Illinois Central Railroad. By 1900 its population
had grown to about 13,500. Kankakee County’s population is
currently 105,290 and growing.

Facts
❖ Three Illinois governors
(Len Small, Samuel Shapiro
and George Ryan) are from
Kankakee.
❖ The Kankakee River runs 57 miles through Kankakee County
and is a clean river, great for landing small mouth bass, channel
catfish, walleye and northern pike. Twelve boat launches, eight
campgrounds, and 18 riverfront parks are only a small part of the
fun on the Kankakee River.
The Creation of Dairy Queen
“Sherb’s” was the name of a small ice cream store that opened
on South West Avenue in Kankakee, Illinois, August 4, 1938. A sign
appeared in the window that read “All you can eat for 10¢!” This
was an extraordinary offer during this country’s Great Depression.
The proprietor of the store, thirty-year-old Sherwood Dick
“Sherb” Noble, a native of Clemens, Iowa, had been associated with
dairy products from his teenage years. What his customers were
offered that day in Kankakee for 10¢ was a new semi-frozen, “softserve” dairy product formulated by a recent acquaintance and new
business partner, J. F. McCullough.
At the end of the day, little did any of Sherb’s customers
know they had made history. Their enthusiastic acceptance of
McCullough’s soft-serve dairy “dessert” (1,600 were purchased)
would launch a multi-million dollar business. Sherb soon opened
the first store named Dairy Queen (a name suggested by
McCullough) in Joliet, Illinois.
In time Dairy Queen became internationally known and more
than 5,000 restaurants would open in the United States, Canada
and 14 other countries. The Dairy Queen companies and franchises
recognized Sherb Noble as the “original Dairy Queen operator.”
Sherb remained active in the
Kankakee community until his
death in March 1991, at 82. He had
been one of the earliest sponsors of
Little League Baseball and received an
award in 1973 from the Kankakee
Veterans of Foreign Wars for his community service and support of youth
activities. The Kankakee Chamber of
Commerce honored Sherb Noble as
Businessman of the Year in 1990.

with surrounding bluffs and woods. The trail surface is crushed stone. It
begins at the Davis Creek area on the north side of the river and travels to the
Chippewa Campground. At one point it crosses a suspension bridge. Portions
of the trail may be impassable, and some roads might even be closed during
periods of heavy rain. Call ahead when this is a concern. In addition to biking,
there are 12 miles of cross-country ski trails, a three-mile hiking trail with
views of limestone canyons and a frothy waterfall and a 12-mile equestrian
